Honky Tonk Women topped the charts

August 23, 1969
The Rolling Stones hit, Honky Tonk Women reached number one on the pop-singles charts on this date.

The single was given away to all the fans who helped clean up after The Stones free concert in Hyde Park on July 5, 1969. This was the first concert Mick Taylor played with the band. A life-size cutout of Brian Jones, who died three days earlier, was kept on stage and the show was dedicated to him.
